Customs clearing, transportation/forwarding services and haulage of goods on the territory of the Expoforum Convention Center, delivery of exhibits to the stands, packing/unpacking, storage of packaging and other services, associated with exhibition goods are rendered exclusively by ôPanBaltServiceö Company.

ATTENTION! VERY IMPORTANT INFORMATION FOR EXHIBITORS:

The ONLY way to bring exhibits to Exhibition is to send all exhibition goods to the address of the official freight forwarder ľ PanBaltService Company. Due to numerous complexities of customs clearing there is no chance for exhibitors to clear exhibition goods by themselves. All previous attempts to do so failed, and led to unnecessary expenses and late or non delivery of goods to exhibition stands. If you precisely follow all instructions by PanBaltService, you will save time and money, and your exhibits will be delivered to your stand on time for exhibition.

Please, be informed, based on numerous precedents, courier services, like DHL, UPS, FedEx, TNT and etc. DO NOT provide ôdoor to doorö delivery of commercial goods in Russian Federation, and WILL NOT perform customs clearing in reasonable time. We do not recommend employing courier services for delivery of exhibits. If you deliver exhibits by courier service, please, kindly make sure that your contract includes customs clearing and associated paperwork, and REAL ôdoor to doorö delivery to ôPanbaltserviceö office in time for exhibition. Otherwise, you will still have to employ ôPanbaltserviceö for customs clearing.
